It’s no secret that I love to dress for the occasion. And that means wearing a red dress for Christmas. If you’re anything like me, you too have your share of past Christmas dresses in your closet. There is something very special about such a tradition. The problem is that, usually, the dress just sits in the closet the remainder of the year. That needn’t be the case

It’s no secret that I love to dress for the occasion. And that means wearing a red dress for Christmas. If you’re anything like me, you too have your share of past Christmas dresses in your closet. There is something very special about such a tradition. The problem is that, usually, the dress just sits in the closet the remainder of the year. That needn’t be the case.

An easy way to transition your red dress from festive to everyday attire is to add fewer formal layers to the mix. A cozy cardigan and a neutral jacket are just casual enough for a movie night or lunch with friends. Swap the black pumps for booties and you’re good to go. Now you can have your dress and wear it too!
